I have not had a chance to play. It had 20+ minutes to go when I left the house last night. Should probably be able to log in when I get back tonight, but probably wont get a real chance to try it out until tomorrow or Monday night.

I got the Hornet Ghost package last week, so I already have all that stuff and when I went to use that code, it said the Maverick was $60, with the code, so I thought it would cost me $60.
So maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Aha I was not reading it correctly. I went through all the steps again, and this time it was a balance of $0 when I got to checkout...

Oh, oops I miss typed the ship name in my last post. You are right it is the Mustang not the Maverick.

And I do think I can melt it for store credit. But after playing in the dogfight arena with the Hornet, the Mustangs kicked my ass, so I will keep it.
I have the new ship in my hanger, but it didn't let me select it as an option for the arena last time I tried it. I'll try it again maybe tomorrow.
This game seems to have a pretty steep learning curve, or else I'm getting stupid in my old age. There is a ton of shit to read through to find useful information.
The forums are helpful actually. And of course, here as well.
